The Wonderful World of Wikis
Wikis have really helped a lot of libraries begin to empower staff to provide content for the Web. Wikis are so easy to use and allow anyone to add or update content on the Web.
We have been doing this for several years on several Web sites using custom designed Web-based maintenance interfaces for Web sites like Reader's Club, Bizlink, and The Bookhive to name a few.
Creating custom sites like these take a lot of time and expertise that a lot of libraries do not have, and wikis really fill this need. Now libraries can have their own Web presence with very little expertise, and they can look really great!
I love the idea of using wikis to empower staff and patrons to contribute content. I think a great application would be a local city guide for visitors with recommendations for what to see and do while you are here, straight from a local's point of view.
